Part bird people, part Metroid, part whatever else her genetic hodgepodge is after all the X eating.
I'm not saying it's women's fault.

We've tried that, but you're still awake.
People rag on Jar-Jar, but he actually looks like he's in the scenes with all the physical characters. CG can work really well, but it takes effort and talent to pull off. Things that are verboten in the current year.
Panel 9, she's got a really twisted fetish.

As someone who is about to turn 30, and someone whose father married and really got his career rolling at 30, I think it depends on the kind of person. Some people are late bloomers, and there's nothing wrong with that. I've been feeling much better as a person as of late then I did when I was younger, and it feels like I'm really starting to get a handle on this "life" thing.
That being said, it is easy to fall into a place of complacency that traps you when you think "Oh, It'll be better tomorrow, I don't have to try today."
Meanwhile, YouTubers are being invited to come play the demo and report of glitches that were patched and how the new mechanics feel.
It's their standby. Declare something true and natural to be evil, decry anyone normal who does that thing, then ignore whenever their own team does the same thing.
I'm reminded of Batman Beyond's vision of the future, how everything was "Credits" but people were still stealing and accumulating the cards like they were cash.
I love the fact that you can't even remotely entertain the possibility that everyone here is simply sick of your shit.
Nah, it's all a grand conspiracy to silence the great woman slayer.
I don't understand it. I'd kill for a gig where I played games all day and gave my opinions on them. How do these people who actively dislike games keep getting the jobs?
It's pretty ridiculous. I don't mind the tech support stuff, but I absolutely abhor all the bureaucracy and red tape I have to help with. It's all so pointless.
It's almost like they know deep down it's not actually a big deal and play up their reactions to act the victim or something.
I'm working as tech support for a medical billing company right now, and I can confirm, there are absolutely insane amounts of charges that just get written off because there's nothing that they can do to get the deadbeats to pay up.

It's fascinating how they cannot comprehend someone actually holding a different stance than them in good faith. Everyone else is just a filthy liar who is evil for the sake of it.
I'm willing to cut the film some slack on its narrative because they put forth effort to make Peach pleasant and actively give Mario opportunities to step up and be a hero. I'm willing to take things like the joke of Peach getting it first try in stride (Never mind how long she's plausibly experienced the Mushroom Kingdom proper by this point.) Because they go on to show that Mario is instrumental in saving the day and Peach would have failed on her own, even as good as she is. And that's the key, for me.
Critical Drinker once said that the fun of wish fulfilment is seeing awesome characters on the backfoot and pulling through despite being setback. Peach may be awesome, but the Kongs are more awesome, and Bowser and his troops are even more awesome, so Mario becomes even more awesome then that in response.
I believe that the initial filmmakers were probably trying to turn Peach into a Mary Sue, but Nintendo put their foot down, and gave her realistic setbacks. You say "Oh, the writers just coincidentally had her get hit by King Bob-Omb." But what is life but a series of coincidences? It doesn't matter how awesome you are, sometimes, you get delt a bad hand and need help. (Also, pretty sure she set him off on purpose and it backfired on her, again, a believable scenario.)
Also, surrender is failure by definition. Losing a battle to win the war is still a loss.
I agree that Peach is a little bit too much, but I don't think she's quite as bad as people seem to think.
For comparison's sake, I'm going to use Rey as the archetypical Mary Sue. Rey is a scavenger on a desert planet, collecting scrap to sell for a living. We then jump to her repairing and flying spaceships better than their lifelong pilots. We start with her being a proficient staff fighter, and then jump to her being a natural with a Lightsaber AND the Force, defeating people who have been training their whole lives in the Light AND Dark sides. Han? Nothing compared to her. Luke? Nothing compared to her. Kylo? Nothing compared to her. She's given every advantage and never fails ever. Rey's power levels make no sense for what is established, and she can never be defeated by any challenge the films put forward.
Conversely, Princess Peach is shown to have been raised in the Mushroom Kingdom and been trained in all of its dangers and wonders. Thus she's shown as being a capable platformer and adventurer in her own right. She makes the plan to team up with the Kongs to fight off Bowser. And then... The plan doesn't work. Cranky turns her down flat until Mario steps up to challenge DK. And then once they have the Kongs' support, Bowser beats them all anyway. Then, when she stands to face Bowser's minions, she immediately caves when Kamek threatens Toad, another loss. And then, after that, when she makes her bid for freedom, she loses against King Bob-Omb. It takes Mario and DK to save everyone and repel Bowser's nuclear option. Peach's power levels are consistent with what is established, and she's unable to clear multiple challenges without explicit help from other characters, most often our hero, Mario.
And that's not getting into Peach's generally supportive and encouraging attitude, compared to Rey's "Stop holding my hand!" bitching.
Taking that much carbon out of the air would require lowering the population by 80% or more.
I'm just gonna stand over here and tug at my shirt collar in a nervous fashion.
Gasp! A pink girl and a blue boy!? SOUND THE HETEROSEXUALITY PROPAGANDA ALARM!
The bits where Lan and Megaman go to Netopia are hilarious in general because they're not afraid to show the shadier sides of the West.
